Pretty sure klopp called him indispensable when fit. He had a few knocks but he's been a massively successful buy.

I don't think we are going to see us play a back 3 under Jose. We need a CB to replace Vertonghen, but the counter to that imo is we also need to protect our back 4 better in general. So many teams just have free reign to run at our back line, and it's been that way for two seasons now. That's how having a DM can help and also not expose Vertonghen as much.
Didn't he score on us from about 25 yards out earlier this year?
Touche... Similarly you're not talking to someone that thinks my warbling on a forum stands to have any sway over such matters either.
It does sound like largely you're on a similar page to me though in that you feel we don't have the ideal blend of CMs within our ranks. 1 x DM + 1 x Box-to-box worked for us when we were at our best.... A midfield 3 would require a similar balance of skills (i.e. 1 x DM + 2 x B2B). I don't understand your reservations tbh.

They couldn't sign anyone due to a ban - keep up
But that's the discussion at hand here... Joe disagrees,
Hense..... We need a new DM. :roll:
Just to add another view to the DM debate, Mourhino played Dier initially but dropped him as it became clear that Dier is not yet over whatever plague afflicted him after the appendicitis operation last year.
Since there has been no credible rumours of us signing a DM either Mourhino is expecting Dier to recover fairly shortly or he's not that bothered by a proper DM and happy to rely upon the likes of Gedson, Winks and even Skipp (who he has not played so far).
Of course Bergwijn appeared out of nowhere very suddenly, and its possible that if we wrap him up and a striker that out of nowhere we get a DM - and find a way to get another overseas trained player place to register him in, unless the plan is for an HG player such as Lewis Cook (Bournemouth) of which there have been no rumours.
4 days to go - and 26 days gone without a credible DM signing rumour.

You're wrongly assuming that our go-to formation is with a back 3.
He’s a fountain of footballing knowledge and understands the game on levels us mere mortals simply can’t comprehend.
Have we traveled back to 2016?
Jansen says hi.
(*actually proves your point as we got about half for him if we include the loan fees.)
